Car maintenance is essential for keeping your Chrysler in great condition. Your car manual contains the details of the scheduled services we perform to ensure your car is working perfectly. As your Chrysler dealer, we'd like to give you some maintenance tips that will help in between your services. Advice From Your Chrysler Dealer: 3 Car Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle Check Your Tires Regularly Good tires are essential, as they enable you to drive safely. If your tires are well maintained, they allow you to drive, corner, and brake with ease. Although modern tires are stronger and safer than ever before, they will still wear out eventually. The rubber reacts to environmental conditions, the road surface, and even sunlight and gradually becomes less elastic. more Sharp objects on the surface, like glass or nails, can damage a tire. When you're driving, the tire heats up, and its internal pressure increases. A small amount of damage to the tire could cause a puncture or even a blowout. We advise inspecting your tires regularly and checking the tire pressure. These steps are easy to perform but will help you to spot any problem we need to repair. Familiarise Yourself With the Warning Lights Your Chrysler has a variety of warning lights, and each has an important part to play in your car's health. The warning lights are connected to sensors in your car that monitor all its vital components. These sensors can detect even the smallest change in a component and provide a warning when a problem is just starting. Early detection of a problem can prevent it from getting worse. Each of these lights will light up when your engine starts and then go off. If any light continues to shine, it's essential to know what the warning light signifies. One of the most important lights is the check engine light. This light responds to a variety of issues with the engine and its associated components. If you can easily identify a warning light and inform us, we can fix it and prevent any damage. Watch Out for Leaks Your Chrysler contains a variety of fluids, including coolant, transmission fluid, oil, water, and fuel. If your car is healthy, the only liquid you should see underneath it is water vented from the AC system. If you regularly check your car, you'll notice a leak almost instantly. If you spot a leaking fluid, our technicians will identify it and fix the source of the leak. If you drive and your car is leaking any fluid, you could damage vital components.

Want to keep your vehicle in good working order? You should be on the lookout for these signs that it's time to visit your Chrysler dealer for a new car battery. Signs It's Time to Get a New Car Battery from Your Chrysler Dealer 1. Electrical Issues There are several electrical components in your vehicle. For all of these components to work properly, your battery needs to be functional. If your battery is dying, then you might find issues like weak headlights, or the lights on your dash flickering on and off. If you notice any of these signs, then it's most likely that you need a new battery. Make sure to head to your dealer right away to keep all of your car's electrical components in good working order. more 2. Signs of Damage If your car's battery shows signs of damage, then it's important to head to your dealer right away. A damaged battery will make your car run less effectively. Not only that, but if your car is running on a damaged battery, that can be very dangerous. If you notice a sulphuric smell coming from your batter, that's a sign that it's leaking, which is a major issue. You should also be on the lookout for any corrosion or around the battery's connectors. If your battery is cracked or misshapen, then that's another sign that it's time to head to your dealer for a new one. 3. Your Car Struggles to Start Another major sign that it's time to replace your car's battery is that your car is slower to start than usual. One of the things that your battery is responsible for is starting your engine. As the battery gets older, it's less able to produce the charge that your car needs to run. This, of course, means that it takes longer for your engine to get started. So if you've noticed that your engine is having a hard time starting, that's a sign it might be time to head to your dealer. 4. Your Battery Is Old Even if your battery isn't showing major signs that it needs to be replaced, keeping your car in overall good shape means replacing your battery regularly. Depending on several conditions like the weather where you live and your driving habits, your battery should last somewhere between 3 to 5 years. It's best to be proactive about your car's battery to make sure that the rest of your car's components stay in good working order. You should aim to replace your battery every 3 years or so, or at least bring it to your local dealer to have the experts take a look at it. If you want to make sure that your car stays in good shape, then it's important to take good care of your car's battery. If you notice any of the above signs, then it's a good idea to visit your dealer. Come see us today at Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Alexandria to have your battery checked.

Your car air filter acts as a barrier between the outside air and your engine. It traps dirt, dead bugs, and other debris and prevents them from entering your engine. This debris could cause damage to your engine, and it would interfere with the combustion process. As the filter collects this debris, it will get blocked. Your local Chrysler dealer can replace your filter, and these are a few signs that it needs to be replaced. Signs You Need a New Car Air Filter from Your Chrysler Dealer Sputtering Engine Fresh air from the filter should mix with the fuel in the combustion chamber. Far more air than fuel is required for combustion, and the perfect ratio is 14 parts air to 1 part fuel. The spark plugs will ignite this flammable mixture, and your car will move. This process works perfectly when there's sufficient clean air. A dirty filter will block most of the air that should enter the chamber, and this will create a fuel-rich environment. When there is little air, combustion becomes more difficult. Spark plugs require air to ignite the mixture, and the dense, fuel-filled atmosphere will make combustion very inefficient. The sputtering sounds you'll hear are caused by the plugs trying to ignite the mix. You may also experience stalling when you take your foot off the gas pedal. Once we replace the filter, these problems will clear up. more Reduced Power When you speed up, more fuel is dumped into the combustion chamber. To balance this extra fuel, even more, clean air is needed. Without this air, the fast-moving pistons will begin to slow down as there isn't enough air for correct compression. As compression reduces, your engine will start to struggle. There will always be air in your engine for compression, but the reduced airflow will mean a power reduction. Your engine will use more fuel to compensate, but much of this fuel will be wasted. The unused fuel will be forced out through your exhaust. You'll experience reduced engine power as your engine tries to provide power but is inhibited by the lack of air. Black Smoke From the Exhaust The excess fuel that cant be burnt in the combustion chamber is forced out of the exhaust. This unburnt fuel deposits carbon in the engine as it leaves. On the way through the exhaust, the fuel passes through the catalytic convertor. The converter's job is to remove dangerous chemicals from fuel residue, but it's not designed to deal with large amounts of unburnt fuel. The convertor will clean some of the outgoing fuel, but most of the fuel will exit the exhaust as black smoke. This smoke is filled with dangerous carbon monoxide. Some of the unburnt fuel will create sparks and even small flames as it comes into contact with the hot exhaust. Call us today at Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Alexandria. Our service technicians will speedily fit a new air filter, and you'll notice an immediate improvement in your engine.

Just like having a dentist check your teeth, your annual engine diagnostic will find any problems your car might have before they become really painful or expensive to fix. During a diagnostic, the technician at your local Chrysler dealer retrieves a great deal of data from your vehicle's onboard computer systems and uses it to delve a little further and identify possible faults. Let's take a look at four types of issues they might uncover. Engine Issues A diagnostic will lead the technician to find any issues causing your dashboard "check engine" light to blink. Your onboard computerized monitors cannot themselves identify a specific problem. Rather, they keep tabs on various levels and indicators of engine health and warn you when they sense that something is wrong. It's then the technician's job to find out specifically what's at fault in your engine. There are quite a few potential engine issues, such as a faulty fuel pump or fuel injector, or a problem with the ignition coil or spark plugs in your combustion chambers. The engine's vital airflow might be impeded by a clogged air filter, which is an easy fix. Or you might have an issue with your coolant or cooling system. A full diagnostic check and examination will get to the bottom of things. more Transmission Trouble Beyond the engine, a diagnostic can also point to problems in the second-most complex part of your car: your transmission. The transmission is responsible for transmitting the power of your engine to your wheels. Under so much continual pressure and heat, a variety of problems can occasionally develop, which your onboard computers will detect. Possible transmission problems include transmission fluid lessened by leaks or dirtied by contaminants and age. Gears inside the gearbox can wear down or round out over time, causing gear slippage. The clutch can also wear down, losing the traction necessary to properly engage and disengage. In automatic transmission systems, the needle roller bearings can also sometimes fail. Faulty Braking System Another critical part of your car is the braking mechanism. Your onboard computer will often sound the alarm if there's any sign of overheating in your rotors, calipers, or brake pads. And it will warn you if your brake fluid levels are dropping, which might point to a leak. Exhaust System Issues Diagnostics can also uncover faults in your exhaust system, which might include leaks, cracks, rust, or smoke. You might also have a broken exhaust oxygen sensor, or broken hangers, which keep the exhaust from knocking around. How Your Chrysler Dealer Runs a Diagnostic The first stage of a diagnostic checkup is data retrieval, where the technician plugs their diagnostic scanner into your car to read the codes provided by your onboard computer. They'll then run verification testing on all the systems of your vehicle, and narrow things down to identify specific problem areas. At this point, they'll know exactly what's wrong, so it's time to carry out repairs. Lastly, they'll always do repair verification, testing all the car's systems once again to make sure the problem is one hundred percent solved.

We pride ourselves on offering an unbeatable customer service experience to everyone who steps through our doors.

So you've shopped around, you've done your research, and you're ready to drive home your new Chrysler. But before you do, you need to set up a financing arrangement. Fortunately, arranging car financing is easy, and your Chrysler dealer can help. 1. Shape Up Your Credit First It's no secret that the better your credit score is, the more favorably lenders will look at you and the more likely you are to be offered a low-interest rate. That's why it's a good idea to check your credit score early and take steps to improve it before you purchase your next vehicle. And even if you don't have the time to improve your credit score, simply knowing what your score is should give you an idea of what type of financing you can expect to be offered. If your credit score is low, it might be smart to formulate a strategy before you set foot into the dealership. Making a larger down payment or bringing on a co-signer are both strategies for offsetting a low credit score. more 2. Look for a Low APR As you're weighing various financing offers, keep an eye on the annual percentage rate, or APR, associated with each one. The APR represents the bottom line interest you'll pay on the amount you finance. The lower it is, the less you'll be paying for financing. Your dealer will shop your financing application around to various lenders and bring their offers back to you. As you review them, look for the offers that carry the lowest APR. 3. Ask About Promotional Financing Dealerships occasionally run promotions that involve discounted financing. These special offers, which are generally only available to buyers with excellent credit, often involve low-interest or even zero-interest financing. If you've got great credit, it's worth inquiring about any promotional financing offers they're currently offering. 4. Stick to Your Budget Financing your vehicle is a perfectly normal and acceptable approach, but you don't want to overextend yourself by taking on too much debt. Before you start conducting test drives, figure out what your budget for the vehicle is going to be and pledge to stick to it. This may mean steering clear of some of the optional amenities that come with a cost. Lenders will be more likely to award you a low-interest rate if you're buying a vehicle that is reasonably priced given your household income. 5. Go With a Shorter Loan Loans that carry a shorter term, which means they are paid back over a fewer number of years, are usually the least expensive. This is because the more quickly you pay the loan off, the less you'll pay in interest. Loans with shorter terms often carry a higher monthly payment, but they're the smart way to go. By following a few guidelines, you'll easily be able to arrange a favorable financing package for your next Chrysler.

Every time you hit the road, your tires take a beating. Over time tires become old and worn and can't provide the necessary traction to be used safely on the road. Tire failure can occur; you could lose control of your car or get stranded next to the road. Below are ways to tell when it's time to get new tires at your Chrysler dealer. Advice From Your Chrysler dealer: Is It Time to Get New Tires for Your Chrysler? Tire Age As you know, tires get old, and the rubber dries out and cracks. Tire manufacturers recommend replacing your vehicle's tires every six to ten years. You can check your tire brand's replacement specifications to determine if your tires are old and need replacing. If you can't remember when you last replaced your tires, ask your Chrysler technician to inspect your car's tires to see if you need a new set. more Tire Tread Depth Check your tires regularly to see how much tread is left on each tire. The tire tread depth should never be lower than 5.32 inches to give you the traction you need, especially if you drive on wet and slippery road surfaces. To determine the tread depth, use a tread depth gauge. If you don't have a tread depth gauge handy, the old penny test will roughly give you an idea of how much tread is still left. Insert a penny head down into the groove. If you can't see the head, the tread is good. If you see the head, it's time to replace your tires. Uneven Tread Wear While checking the tread depth, look to see if the treads on all four tires are worn evenly. If one side is worn and thinner than the other, it's due to incorrect tire pressure or misaligned tires. That is why it's essential to inflate your tires to the correct PSI and have your tires rotated regularly. If the tread is uneven, ask your Chrysler technician to check if you need to replace your tires. Indicator Wear Bars Indicator wear bars are flat rubber bars built into tires to warn you when the tread is worn. The indicator wear bars are perpendicular to the tread direction and are barely visible when the tires are new. As tires wear down, the indicator wear bars become more visible. When you can see one or two indicator wear bars on a tire, visit your dealership for a tire replacement. Blisters and Bulges Over time and with use, the tire's surface weakens, and that is when blisters or bulges form. The area on the outer surface where the tire developed a weak spot will bulge out. The weak spots could cause blowouts. To ensure your safety, get your tires replaced at your dealership as soon as possible when you notice blisters or bulges. Sidewall Cuts and Cracks When you check the tread on your tires, inspect the sidewalls for cuts and cracks. Visible damage to the sidewalls of your tires could lead to leaks or, even worse, cause a blowout. If the damage looks severe, and the cuts and cracks are easily visible, rather be safe than sorry and ask your Chrysler technician to inspect your tires to determine if a tire replacement is necessary. If you want to know if your car needs a new set of tires, visit Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Alexandria today. One of our qualified technicians will thoroughly inspect your vehicle's tires to determine if you need a replacement. We stock a selection of top-quality brand tires and perform expert installations.

The Jeep Wrangler has always been known for its rough and rugged capabilities, both on- and off-road. While the 2021 Wrangler lineup doesn't bring any shocking changes, the ones that have been made are worth looking into. So, if you want an off-road vehicle that can handle all your adventures with style, here's a glance at what we know so far about the 2021 Jeep Wrangler. more Engine Lineup You can expect a similar engine lineup to what we saw in 2020, but with a few changes. A 3.0-liter diesel V-6 engine was added in 2020, and it will still be available on 2021 models. Also, the popular 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine will remain in the lineup. Important to note is that the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine will no longer be available with eTorque mild hybrid technology. However, you'll still get the mild hybrid system with the 3.6-liter V-6 engine. It's rumored that later in 2021, the Wrangler will be available as a plug-in hybrid called four-by-e. Four-Wheel Drive Capabilities To keep its high standard when it comes to off-road capabilities, some upgrades have been made to the four-wheel-drive technology found on the 2021 Wrangler. Command-Trac is a part-time four-wheel-drive system that was previously found on the Sport model. With this system, you had to switch the vehicle from two-wheel to four-wheel drive. Now, even the base model will come with Selec-Trac, which can automatically switch the Wrangler from two- to four-wheel drive by detecting the traction your wheels need. If you opt for the Rubicon trim, the Off-Road Plus Package is standard. It gives you improved performance when off-roading. Upgraded Tech In the past, you could find plenty of technology on the Jeep Wrangler, when you chose upgraded models. For 2021, even the Sport S model will come standard with the previously optional Technology Package. It means you get a 7-inch touch screen that's compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as automatic climate control, a TFT 7-inch color display gauge cluster, and a SiriusXM subscription. Another great feature you'll find on 2021 Wrangler models is a tire fill alert system. When you're airing up your tires, the horn will honk when they're at optimal air levels. Color Options It's all about making a statement, and you'll have no problem making one when you drive the new Jeep Wrangler. It comes in some of the same colors we saw last year, such as Bright White, Billet Silver, Hellayella, Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal, and Ocean Blue. However, you might want to see how it looks in one of the new color choices, which are Sarge Green, Snazzberry, and Hydro Blue. With the array of color options to choose from, you're sure to find one that suits your unique style.
